8 Programming Traps That You and I Have Fallen Into

And continue to fall into.

This article contains the programming traps that I have fallen into, continue to fall into, and may never stop, as well as those in which I have found my comrades. However, I believe that they can be avoided if you know what traps you can fall into and how to get out of them. This belief may be another trap.

Brief introduction

Imagine that you have fallen into a hole, let it be 3 meters deep. You will start to get out of it, climb, or cling. I don’t know what else you will come up with, but most likely, you will get out.

In programming, you can also get into a trap. But if we take a hole as an analogy, it will be 50 meters deep, and covered with a heavy steel plate on top.

How long do you think you will stay in such a hole?

Most likely, until someone finds you there!

But this is not such a big problem. You can get out of each programming trap on your own and almost without outside efforts—you only need to know three things: what kind of trap you are in, how you got there, and where the “secret door” is—the exit.
